TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for inferring a plant organ, in which a certain gene is to be expressed, using a part of a base sequence; a method for searching for a gene which is to be expressed at a desired site (e.g., a site containing a flower); a composition, kit, system and program for carrying out these methods; and products obtained by these methods (nucleic acid molecule, etc.). More preferably, the present invention relates to a method for inferring a plant organ, in which a plant gene is to be expressed, based on information about the presence or absence of a the base sequence which is highly similar to a transposable element (e.g., transposon) in the vicinity of a protein coding region; a composition, kit, system, and program for carrying out the method; and products obtained by these methods.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Recent progress in genome base sequence analysis technologies has provided a rapid improvement in analysis speed and a reduction in analysis cost, whereby analysis of the structure of genomes of various organisms is proceeding at dramatic speed. Current methods for inferring a function of a gene from its deciphered base sequence depend on the presence or absence of a similar sequence found by searching sequence data of DNA or protein registered in an international database, such as GenBank or DDBJ, using, for example, PSI-BLAST algorithm (Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402 (1997)) or the like. In these methods, the similarity between sequences and functions is estimated from the similarity between known nucleic acids or proteins and sequences. In order to estimate the amino acid sequence of a protein coded by a base sequence, various programs aimed at gene modeling for predicting the positions of exons or introns from the genome base sequence have been developed. An attempt to realize full automation is proceeding, however accurate gene modeling essentially requires manual editing of a result of prediction, though accuracy problems remain unsolved.

[0003] Some databases and programs for predicting gene expression sites based on a genome base sequence have been developed (Ghosh, Nucleic Acids Res., 21:3117-3118 (1993); Ghosh, Nucleic Acids Res., 26:360-361 (1998); Heinemeyer et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 26:362-367 (1998)), though accuracy problems remain unsolved.

[0004] Forplants, a database compiling about 400cis element motifs in an expression control region for a plant gene, to which transcription regulatory elements bind has constructed (Higo et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 26:358-359 (1998); Nucleic Acids Res. 27:297-300 (1999)). When analysis is carried out using a base sequence inferred as a promoter as a query, each cis element motif present in the base sequence is displayed. However, although there is a possibility that these function as cis elements, no evidence exists that these actually function as cis elements. Therefore, there is a demand for the development of a method for inferring a gene expression site (expression tissue/expression organ) using a genome base sequence.

[0005] Clarification of gene expression sites would help reveal functions of individual genes and could make it possible to isolate and utilize a promoter portion. In the field of plants, development of tissue-specific promoters would make possible gene expression specific to individual tissues using transformation technologies or inhibition of gene expression. For example, if an anther-specific promoter were developed, the following applications would be expected.

[0006] It has been known that a F1 hybrid (first filial generation) generated by crossing between varieties may have a more excellent property than that of its parents. This inter-variety crossing has conventionally attracted attention as a method for breeding crops. For crops, such as rice, which perform self-pollination, methods for producing a male sterility strain have been studied as a technology required for utilization of such a property. Conventionally, male sterility strains have been searched for among plant gene resources, or mutagenesis has been used for selection of a male sterility strain. However, these methods have difficulty in introducing a male sterility gene into a commercial variety and their use is limited.

[0007] A recent promising approach is a method of utilizing biotechnology to link a promoter, which expresses in an anther and/or pollen, with a gene having a function to inhibit formation of an anther and/or pollen (e.g., nuclease, protease, and glucanase) and introduce the linked genes into a plant so as to prevent formation of fertile pollen. An alternative promising approach is a method of using a promoter, which is to be expressed in an anther and/or pollen, so as to transcribe antisense RNA for a gene which is to be expressed upon formation of an anther and/or pollen, or a method of introducing ribozyme, which decomposes mRNA for the gene, into a plant.

[0008] There are several known promoters for genes which are expressed in an anther and/or pollen. However, unfortunately, the activities of the promoters are too low for practical use, or the expression time thereof is limited. It would be very useful to isolate a promoter which functions at each developmental stage of an anther or pollen, clarify features of each promoter, and produce a promoter cassette having a high activity so as to artificially control formation of an anther and/or pollen.

[0009] Therefore, for example, if a promoter, which has a high activity, may be practically used, and is directed to a desired site (e.g., an anther or pollen), can be obtained from a gene of rice, such a promoter can contribute much to breeding of crops, such as rice. Further, in order to modify a component of each tissue of flower, such as a protein involved in adhesion of a petal pigment or pollen to a pistil, it is necessary to obtain a gene which is to be expressed in a flower.

[0010] To this end, required is a method for efficiently searching a DNA database, in which a vast number of genome base sequences are stored, for a gene which is to be expressed in a flower, or a method for efficiently screening a genome DNA library for a gene which is to be expressed in a desired site (e.g., flower).

[0147] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described.

[0148] It should be understood throughout the present specification that articles for singular forms (e.g., “a”, “an”, “the”, etc. in English; “ein”, “der”, “das”, “die”, etc. and their inflections in German; “un”, “une”, “le”, “la”, etc. in French; and articles, adjectives, etc. in other languages) include the concept of their plurality unless other wise mentioned. It should be also understood that terms as used herein have definitions ordinarily. used in the art unless otherwise mentioned.

[0149] (Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention)

[0150] As used herein, “transposon” or “transposon sequence” refers to a DNA sequence having a predetermined structure which can undergo transposition on a chromosomal DNA. Transposons are ubiquitous in bacteria, yeast, maize, Drosophila, and the like. Transposition sites are not constant. Transposons are transferred to any genes. When a transposon is inserted in the vicinity of a gene, the transposon may have an influence on expression of the gene. When a transposon is inserted within a gene, the gene may be inactivated.

[0151] As used herein, “MITE (miniature inverted-repeat transposable element)” or MITE sequence refers to a transposable element having a small size (typically, 0.5 kb or less) which are scattered on a chromosomal DNA and has a terminal inverted repeat.

[0152] To date, genetic elements (transposable elements), which are transposable on the same DNA in a chromosome or between DNAs in different chromosomes, have been found in various organisms (Finnegan, 1989; Flavell et al., 1994; Bennetzen, 2000). The transposable elements are classified into two classes according to their transposition mechanism. Class I elements undergo transposition through reverse transcription of RNA transcription intermediates. Class II elements undergo transposition directly from DNA to DNA (Finnegan, 1989). A transposable element of a novel class called MITE has been reported in a plant for the first time (Zhang et al., 2000 and references cited therein). MITE has a structure typical to DNA transposable elements, but does not code a transposase essential for transposition (Bennetzen, 2000). MITE tends to be present in the vicinity of a gene (Mao et al., 2000 and references cited therein), and is a transposable element which was most frequently found in the base sequence of a rice genome of 910 kb (Turcotte et al., 2001).

[0153] As used herein, “Tourist” sequence or “Tourists” element, which are interchangeably used, refers to a base sequence (element) which undergoes transposition on a chromosomal DNA, or which is considered to be produced by transposition. A Tourist sequence is a type of MITE sequence, and was originally identified in the Waxy (wx) gene of maize (Zea mays). The Tourist sequences are characterized by terminal inverted repeat, small size, the tendency of the base sequence of an insertion site, and stable DNA secondary structure(Bureau and Wessler, 1992). The Tourist sequences are classified into four subfamilies (Tourist-A, B, C and D) according to their internal base sequence (Bureau and Wessler, 1994). Tourist-A element is found in maize, Tourist-B in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), Tourist-C in rice (Oryza sativa) and sorghum, and Tourist-D in maize and barley (Hordeum vulgare).

[0154] The Tourist-A is characterized by having a repeated sequence consisting of GGATT. Tourist-B is characterized by having box I, domain I, and a subterminal polyA/polyT region. Tourist-C is characterized by having box I, domain I and I′, and a subterminal polyA/polyT region. Tourist-D is characterized in that no conserved region is contained in the internal base sequence.

[0155] If Tourist was inserted in the vicinity of a gene, which is to be expressed in a flower, before speciation into cereal, such as rice, maize, and sorghum, there is a possibility that a Tourist-like sequence is found in the vicinity of a gene, which is to be expressed at a specific site (e.g., a flower), in the case of maize, sorghum, and the like other than rice. It can be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the base sequence of a portion of Tourist used for detection varies depending on the purpose. The base sequence of another portion of Tourist may have been suitable for detection in terms of other specific purposes since the speciation of Tourist into types A, B, C and D.

[0156] Alternatively, it can be contemplated that Tourist sequence has been gradually mutated into Tourist-A, B, C, or D with the speciation into rice, maize, sorghum, and the like, and thereafter, Tourist-A, B, C, or D separately underwent transposition in the respective plant variety to be inserted in the vicinity of a gene. Therefore, Tourist-A, B or D may also be utilized for detection of genes which are to be expressed in a specific organ. Specifically, since a long time has passed since the speciation of cereal, Tourist-A, B, C or D can be distinguished from each other. By using a certain portion of these base sequences, genes which are to be expressed in a specific organ can be detected.

[0157] In the present invention, preferably, the Tourist-C sequence (also referred to as the Tourist-C element) is particularly used. The tourist-C sequence is characterized by having box I, domains I and I', and subterminal polyA/polyT regions. Domain I' has a sequence similar to that of the complementary strand of domain I (Bureau and Wessler, 1992). It is known that the Tourist elements are found in introns of genes or regions in the vicinity of genes (Bureau and Wessler, 1992, 1994; Bureau et al., 1996). It is therefore believed that the Tourist elements are inserted dominantly in the vicinity of protein coding regions in a genome.

[0158] More preferably, the Tourist-C sequence of the present invention may be here in the Tourist-OsaCatA sequence. The Tourist-OsaCatA is a Tourist element present in the 5′-upstream region of the CatA gene (Iwamoto et al., 1999), which has been found by comparing the base sequence of one of the rice catalase genes, the CatA gene (Higo and Higo, 1996) with various types of rice of the genus Oryza. Therefore, in one embodiment, Tourist-OsaCatA may be used for the purpose of finding “conserved base sequences” suitable for phylogenetic analysis among a number of types of rice of the genus Oryza.

[0159] The inventors of the present invention fused a 5′-upstream promoter region of the rice catalase CatA gene (Higo and Higo, Plant Mol. Biol. 30: 505-521 (1996)) with a reporter gene (GUS), and introduced the resultant gene into rice. Tissue of the transformed plant was stained. As a result, it was found that the reporter gene was strongly expressed in the anther and pollen. Thus, the inventors revealed that the promoter can be utilized so as to prepare a promoter cassette for expression of a useful gene in an anther or pollen for the aim to produce male sterility strains or the like (International Publication WO 00/58454 published on Oct. 5, 2000). In the CatA promoter region, there is a base sequence (about 300 bases) which is a transposable element and belongs to a group called Tourist sequence (present at positions 164 to 515 of the base sequence of the above-described patent application; designated as Tourist-OsaCatA) (Iwamoto et al. Mol. Gen. Genet. 262: 493-500 (1999)) (FIG. 1).

[0160] However, to the present inventors' knowledge, prior to the disclosure of the present invention there has been no report indicating that a transposon sequence (e.g., a MITE sequence, such as Tourist sequence) is successfully used as an indicator to detect a gene which is to be expressed in a desired organ.

[0161] In a seed plant, such as rice, even if a transposon, such as Tourist, undergoes transposition into a chromosome, the transposon is not passed to progeny unless the chromosome is of a germ cell. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine that a transposon can be used as an indicator to detect a gene which is to be expressed in a desired organ.

[0162] The present inventors discovered that a transposon, such as Tourist, which is present in a cell at a site containing a flower, can be passed to progeny and expressed in a specific organ.

[0163] Therefore, since it was not believed based on the findings as of the disclosure of the present invention regarding a transposon sequence (e.g., a MITE sequence, such as a Tourist sequence) that the transposon sequence is related to an expression specific site, the present invention has an advantageous effect, which is not otherwise predictable, over conventional findings.

[0164] According to the present invention, a transposon sequence (e.g., A MITE sequence, such as a Tourist sequence) can be utilized in organs other than a genital organ in a plant. This is because an inserted transposon may be passed to progeny through a non-genital organ in the case of plants which undergo vegetative reproduction (e.g., plants reproduced through underground stems: iris (rhizome), arrowhead (corm), saffron (corm), potato (tuber), dahlia (tuber), lily (bulb), onion (bulb), bracken (underground stem), lotus (underground stem); roots: sweet potato (tuberous root); bulbil: yam (bulbil), garlic (bulbil); branches: strawberry (runner)). Therefore, it will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art that even in the case of transposition in a root, a stem, and a leaf other than a flower, a gene whose expression is specific to an organ, such as a root, a stem, and a leaf, can be detected using a transposon sequence as a key.

[0165] As used herein, “key” sequence refers to a sequence which is used in a gene search in accordance with the present invention. The key sequence may be electronic data for use in a computer, i.e., a “query” sequence, or a biological probe for in vitro and/or in vivo screening, i.e., a “probe” sequence. As used herein, “query” sequence refers to a sequence for use in gene search by a computer, including the base sequence of DNA or RNA or the amino acid sequence of a protein for which a database is searched. “Probe sequence” refers to a sequence for use in a biological experiment, such as in vitro and/or in vivo screening.

[0166] As used herein, “gene population” includes, but is not limited to, a nonredundant population of gene data items, which are mutually related, in the form of electronic data, i.e., a “database”, and a biological population, i.e., a “library”. A “database” refers to a nonredundant group of gene data items which are mutually related, including electronic data. The database may be a DNA database or a protein database. Preferably, the database may be a DNA database or the like. As used herein, “library” refers to a group of genes for use in biological screening, which are mutually related. The library may be a DNA library or an RNA library, or a protein library. A DNA library is preferable.

[0167] As used herein, “search” refers to utilizing a certain nucleic acid base sequence in an electronic or biological manner or the like to find another nucleic acid base sequence. Examples of the electronic search includes, but are not limited to, BLAST (Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215: 403-410 (1990)), FASTA (Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA 85: 2444-2448 (1988)), Smith and Waterman method (Smith and Waterman, J. Mol. Biol. 147: 195-197 (1981)), and Needleman and Wunsch method (Needleman and Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48: 443-453 (1970)), and the like. Examples of the biological search include stringent hybridization, macroassay in which genome DNA is attached to nylon membrane or the like, microassay in which genome DNA is attached to a glass plate (microarray assay), PCR and in situ hybridization.

[0168] As used herein, “comparative selection” of sequences refers to comparing two sequences in an electronic or biological manner or the like with respect to a certain nucleic acid base sequence (e.g., in the case of electronic comparative selection, two sequences are aligned so as to determine a difference every unit sequence so that a desired sequence is selected. Methods similar to those used in the above-described search may be applied to the comparative selection of sequences. In an electronic search for a sequence, a query sequence is compared with a large number of base sequences in a database so as to find the closest sequence. On the other hand, in a biological experiment (hybridization or the like), a sequence having the highest complementarity strongly binds to a probe. The binding corresponds to comparative selection. The comparative selection is also herein simply referred to as “selection”.

[0169] As used herein, “stringent conditions” for hybridization refer to conditions under which the complementary strand of a nucleotide strand having homology to a target sequence predominantly hybridizes with the target sequence, and the complementary strand of a nucleotide strand having no homology substantially does not hybridize. “Complementary strand” of a certain nucleic acid sequence refers to a nucleic acid sequence paired with the certain nucleic acid sequence by hydrogen bonds between nucleic acid bases (e.g., T for A and C for G). The stringent conditions are sequence-dependent, and vary depending on various circumstances. The longer the sequence, the higher temperature the sequence specifically hybridizes at. In general, as for the stringent conditions, the temperature is selected about 5° C. lower than the melting point (Tm) of a particular sequence at a predetermined ionic strength and pH. Tm is the temperature at which 50% of nucleotides complementary to a target sequence hybridize to the target sequence in an equilibrium state under a predetermined ionic strength, pH, and nucleic acid concentration. “Stringent conditions” are sequence-dependent and vary depending on various environmental parameters. The stringent conditions are described in detail in Tijssen (1993), Laboratory Technniques In Biochemistry And Molecular Biology-Hybridization With Nucleic Acid Probes Part I, Second Chapter “Overview of principles of hybridization and the strategy of nucleic acid probe assay”, Elsevier, N.Y.

[0170] Microarray assay is a technology well known to those skilled in the art, and is described in detail in DeRisi et al., Science 278: 680-686 (1997); Chu et al., Science 282: 699-705 (1998).

[0171] As used herein, “gene” refers to a functional unit of heredity, which typically occupies a specific site (locus) on a chromosome. In general, a gene can reproduce itself with accuracy in cell division, and control synthesis of protein, such as an enzyme. A gene as a functional unit is made of discontinuous segments of a DNA macromolecule. The DNA molecule contains a proper sequence of bases (A, T, G and C) coding a specific peptide (amino acid sequence). Genetic information is typically described by DNA and sometimes RNA. As described above, a gene is typically present within a chromosome, and all chromosomes are arranged in a pair, except for a human male sex chromosome (X and Y), for example. Genes are typically present in a pair in any cell other than a gamete. A gene typically contains a region coding a protein (exons) and, in addition, introns present between exons, an expression control region (promoter region) upstream of a first exon, and a region downstream of the protein coding region.

[0172] As used herein, “structural gene” refers to a portion of a gene other than a promoter and an intron of the gene, which determines directly the primary structure of a polypeptide in accordance with a genetic code.

[0173] As used herein, “homology” or “similarity” of a gene or a sequence, which are interchangeably used, refers to the magnitude of identity between two or more gene sequences. The magnitude of homology is herein determined by Blast using its default parameters. Therefore, the greater the homology between two genes, the greater the identity or similarity between their sequences. Whether or not two genes have homology is determined by comparing their sequences directly or by a hybridization method under stringent conditions. When two gene sequences are directly compared with each other, the genes have homology if representatively at least 50%, preferably at least 70%, more preferably at least 80%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of the DNA sequence of the genes are identical.

[0174] As used herein, “site containing a flower” refers to any site of a plant containing a flower. Therefore, the site containing a flower may contain a plant organ other than a flower (e.g., lemma, palea, glume, rudimentary glume, and rachilla).

[0175] As used herein, “flower” is a reproductive structure characteristic to a seed plant, and has a vivid color in its part or entirety. For example, the flower of rice consists of glumose flowers, a stamen, a pistil and a base.

[0176] As used herein, “stamen” refers to a male genital organ consisting of an anther and a filament, and “pistil” refers to a female genital organ consisting of a stigma, a style, and an ovary.

[0177] As used herein, “express at a site containing a flower” indicates that expression is performed only at a flower and, in addition, that expression is performed at a flower and other organs (tissue).

[0178] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method is provided for obtaining information about a certain gene regarding the presence or absence of a base sequence similar to a transposable element sequence so as to infer that the gene may be expressed in a specific plant organ or site associated with the transposable element sequence.

[0179] In the method of the present invention, by utilizing the base sequence of a transposable element (e.g., a certain transposable element is commonly present in the vicinity of several genes which are expressed in a root) which is specific to an organ (e.g., organs containing a blade, a leaf sheath and a root, and the like) other than a flower of a plant (e.g., monocotyledon (e.g., rice)), vast base sequence data about the genome of rice can be screened for a gene which is to be expressed in a root.

[0180] Conventionally, a base sequence motif in a promoter sequence of a gene, to which a transcription regulatory element binds, has been studied so as to find a clue for such a search. Such a short motif brings noise to a search. Therefore, the use of such a motif is practically impossible or very difficult. “Noise” in a search refers to a motif sequence which has the same base sequence as that of a known short motif, but does not actually function, since the motif sequence is not located at an appropriate position with respect to a transcription initiation point, or the like. In currently available motif databases and analysis tools, a search is performed simply with reference to the presence or absence of matching of short base sequences. The noise has not been reduced to a negligible level. Therefore, when a short sequence which is the same as a known motif is found on a certain DNA base sequence, the short sequence is suggested to be potentially a functioning motif, but at the same time is highly likely to be mere noise, leading to poor search efficiency. The present invention is provided so as to solve this problem. It is not until a transposable element having a size of about 100 to 300 bases is employed in the present invention that the noise can be reduced so that a gene, which is specifically expressed at a specific site, can be searched for.

[0181] The present invention also provides genes found by the above-described method of the present invention. Therefore, these genes are expressed at a site containing a flower.

[0182] The present invention also provides a method for modifying transcription of a plant using information about the genes found in the above-described method of the present invention. The modification maybe easily carried out using molecular biological and/or biochemical technologies commonly used in the art.

[0183]FIG. 8 shows an exemplary configuration of a computer 8 according to the present invention for carrying out the method of the present invention. The computer 8 comprises a CPU 81, a main memory 82, a hard disk drive (HDD) 83, and an input interface 84. These components 81 to 84 are, for example, interconnected through a bus 86. Any type of memory may be used instead of the HDD 83.

[0184] The HDD 83 stores a program representing automatic computation (hereinafter referred to as automatic computation program) in advance. Alternatively, an automatic computation program may be recorded onto any type of computer readable recording medium, such as a floppy disk, a CD-ROM, a CD-R, and a DVD-ROM. The automatic computation program stored in such a recording medium is loaded into the HDD 83 via an input apparatus (e.g., a disk drive).

[0185] The CPU 81 executes the automatic computation program stored in the HDD 83. The execution of the automatic computation program by the CPU 81 allows the computer 8 to function as an automatic computation apparatus according to the present invention.

[0186] An input device (e.g., a keyboard and a mouse) and the like may be connected to the input interface 84. The input device may be used so as to input data required by the computer 8.

[0187] A portion of the automatic computation program or a portion of data is optionally transferred to the main memory 82. The CPU 81 can access the main memory 82 at high speed.

[0188] A query sequence and/or a database for use in the present invention may be input into the computer 8 using, for example, an input device, and stored in the HDD 83 as a master file.

A display, a storage apparatus, or the like maybe connected to the output interface, for example. The search result may be stored in the HDD 83. The search result may be optionally recorded onto the above-described computer readable recording medium.

In one embodiment, the above-described transposon sequence (e.g., a MITE sequence, such as a Tourist sequence) may contain a sequence having at least about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, about 95%, or about 99% homology to the sequence indicated by SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2. In another embodiment, the above-described Tourist sequence may have at least one substitution, addition or deletion in the sequence indicated by SEQ ID NO: 1 as long as the function of the present invention can be maintained. In another embodiment, the above-described Tourist sequence may have at least one substitution, addition or deletion in the sequence indicated by SEQ ID NO: 2 as long as the function of the present invention can be maintained. The above-described transposon sequence may have one or several substitutions, additions or deletions. More preferably, the above-described transposon sequence may be substantially or fully the same as the sequence indicated by SEQ ID NO: 1. In another preferred embodiment, the above-described transposon sequence may be substantially or fully the same as the sequence indicated by SEQ ID NO: 2.

[0273] Examples of the gene identified by the method of the present invention, which is to be expressed in a site containing a flower, are described below.

[0274] Among genes which have been to date isolated from rice, there are 12 genes, including CatA (Kay et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 17,2865-2866(1989); Yamaguchi-Shinozaki et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 14: 29-39 (1989); Kondo et al., J. Biol. Chem. 265, 15832-15837 (1991); Huang et al., Gene, 111, 223-228 (1992); Kawasaki et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 237, 10-16 (1993); Minami and Tanaka, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1171: 321-322 (1993); Nelson et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 25, 401-412 (1994); Chen and Bennetzen, Plant Mol. Biol. 32, 999-1001 (1996); Higo and Higo, Plant Mol. Biol. 30, 505-521 (1996); Song et al., Plant Cell, 9, 1279-1287 (1997); GenBank accession number U72255; GenBank accession number X89226), in the vicinity of which base sequences similar to Tourist-OsaCatA were found (Bureau et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 93: 8524-8529 (1996); Iwamoto et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 262: 493-500 (1999)). These sequences are respectively indicated by SEQ ID NOs: 3 to 14. The present invention is the first to find that these genes, except for CatA and HMGR, are expressed in a site containing a flower. Therefore, the present invention also provides nucleic acid molecules containing these sequences, which are expressed in a site containing a flower.

[0275] Expression of these genes in a flower, a root, a leaf, and an immature seed was analyzed with RT-PCR. As a result, expression of 8 genes was confirmed, all of which were expressed in the flower (FIG. 2). The inventors' research was the first to find expression in a flower of these genes other than CatA and HMGR. Therefore, it was demonstrated that the usefulness of the present invention was difficult to predict based on the conventional state of the art.

[0276] The inventors carried out a further search to find three similar sequences to Tourist-OsaCatA among the DNA base sequences which had been registered as EST (Iwamoto et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 262: 493-500(1999)). RT-PCR analysis confirmed that two of them were expressed in a flower (FIG. 3).

[0277] Further, a similarity search (BLAST) was carried out in a DNA database using the Tourist-OsaCatA base sequence as a query. As a result, 32 highly similar sequences were detected in the vicinity of 30 regions (CDS) which were inferred to code a gene in a BAC/PAC clone (Table 1). Of the 30 CDSs, 29 CDSs had the same size a PCR product using a genomic DNA as that which was expected. The 29 CDSs were investigated with RT-PCR for the presence or absence of expression of each gene in a blade, a root, a flower, and an immature gene (Table 2). As a result, for 11 CDSs, a product having the same size as that which was expected was observed. The expression of all CDSs were confirmed only in a flower, or in a flower and other organs (FIG. 4).

[0278] Further, flower tissue of rice was subdivided and subjected to RNA extraction to analyze the presence or absence of expression of 11 CDSs (protein coding regions presumed to be a gene), two ESTs, and 8 genes with RT-PCR. The result is the following.

[0279] Expression in stamen and/or pistil: 12 cases

[0280] Expression in stamen, pistil, lemma/palea, and base: 5 cases

[0281] Expression in pistil, and lemma/palea: 1 case

[0282] Expression in stamen, pistil, and base: 1 case

[0283] No RT-PCR product confirmed (no clear growth): 2 cases

[0284] Thus, it was demonstrated that the genes detected by the method of the present invention were “expressed in a site containing a flower”. Preferably, the genes obtained by the method of the present invention can be said to “have a relatively high probability (about 90% or more) of being expressed in the stamen and/or pistil of a flower”. The genes whose products were not confirmed are considered to have insufficient RNA. Therefore, the inventors concluded that substantially all of the genes are actually expressed at a site containing a flower. The present invention can achieve prediction of expression of a gene obtained by screening at a relatively high probability (specifically, for example, at least about 90% or more, about 95% or more, and the like), which was not realized by means of conventional technology. The present invention is the very first to achieve such an advantageous effect and usefulness.

[0285] As a result, it was demonstrated that the Tourist-OsaCatA base sequences could be used to obtain a method for efficiently selecting genes, which are expressed in a flower, from base sequences of the rice genome in a DNA database.

[0286] The method of the present invention, which provides information about an organ (tissue) in which a gene is to be expressed, is of great benefit to the status quo in which although genome analysis can easily determine the base sequence of a genome, the functions of most genes are not known.

[0287] Further, a gene which Southern hybridization analysis of rice genomic DNA reveals has a portion of a putative promoter region, to which a probe (Tourist-OsaCatA) binds under stringent conditions, is highly likely to be expressed in a flower. Such a gene is used for screening a rice genomic DNA library (FIGS. 5A and 5B).

[0288] An experiment using a partially deleted promoter revealed that the Tourist-OsaCatA fragment per se is not essential for expression in a flower. It is considered that somewhere in the course of evolution, the DNA structure of a gene which was actively expressed in a flower was relaxed and transposase required for insertion of a transposon was also synthesized and as a result, the transposon Tourist -OsaCatA was inserted in the vicinity of a gene which is to be expressed in a flower.

[0289] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described by way of examples. The examples are only for purposes of illustration. Therefore, the claims of the present invention are limited only by the claims, but not the examples.

EXAMPLES

[0290] Techniques used in the examples below are well known in the art and described in, for example, Sambrook et al., Molecular.Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (2nd Ed.), Vol. 1 to 3, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, (1989). In the examples below, Tourist-OsaCatA is used as an example of a transposon sequence. The present invention is not limited to the specific sequence, and can be easily modified by those skilled in the art reviewing the present specification.

Example 1

[0291] Comparison of Base Sequences

[0292] A similarity search was conducted in the DNA databases DDBJ (Rel.35), GenBank (Rel.111), and EMBL(Rel.58) accessed from the web site of the DNA bank of the National Institute of Agrobiological Resources (http://www.DNA.affrc.go.jp) using the BLAST algorithm (Altschul et al., Nucl. Acids Res. 25: 3389-3402 (1997)). Base sequences highly similar to Tourist-OsaCatA (score value of at least 40) were compared with the base sequence of Tourist-OsaCatA using genetic information processing software GENETYX-MAC (Software Kaihatsu K.K., Tokyo).

[0293] As a result, 228 BACs (bacterial artificial chromosome) clones and 11 PACs (P1-derived artificial chromosome) clones were detected. Among them, 32 Tourist-OsaCatA like sequences were confirmed to be present in the vicinity of CDS in a BAC/PAC clone in which information about a region (CDS) inferred to code a gene is stored (Table 1).

Example 2

[0294] RT-PCR

[0295] Total RNAs of rice (variety: Nipponbare) were prepared from blades, roots, glumose flowers, and immature seeds using RNeasy (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). The preparation was carried out in accordance with a manual attached to RNeasy. The prepared total RNAs-were treated with DNase I (Life Technologies, Rockville, Md. USA), followed by RT-PCR. RT-PCR was carried out using Superscript One-Step RT-PCR system (Life Technologies). 50 ng of the total RNAs were used as a template. cDNA synthesis was carried out at 47° C. for 40 minutes, and then at 94° C. for 2 minutes. Thereafter, 24 to 40 cycles of reactions at 94° C. for 2 minutes, at 52° C. for 2 minutes, and at 72° C. for 2 minutes are repeated. The resultant amplified DNA fragments were observed by agarose electrophoresis and further base sequence analysis.

[0296] As a result, expression was detected in one or a plurality of organs for 8 genes (including CatA) of 12 genes having Tourist C element (classified by Bureau and Wessler, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 91: 1411-1415 (1994)) having a similar structure to that of CatA and Tourist-OsaCatA (FIG. 2), 2 ESTs of 3 ESTs having a highly similar sequence to Tourist-OsaCatA in DNA registered as EST (FIG. 3), and 11 CDSs of 29 CDSs present in the vicinity of Tourist-OsaCatA like sequence (Table 2). All of the genes, ESTs, and CDSs having detected expression were also expressed in a flower.

[0297] Hybridization

[0298] Total DNAs of rice (variety: Nipponbare) were prepared from blades in accordance with the method of Murray and Thompson (Nucl. Acids Res. 8: 4321-4325 (1980)). The prepared total DNAs were digested with HindIII XhoI, EcoRV HindIII, BamHI, or EcoRI. The digested DNAs were separated by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and then transferred to a nylon membrane. Southern hybridization was carried out using DNA fragments containing Tourist-OsaCatA as a probe, where the hybridization was carried out in a hybridization solution containing 50% formamide, 5×SSC, 1×Denhardt's solution, 1 mM EDTA (pH 8.0), 0.1% SDS, and 0.1 mg/ml salmon sperm DNA, at 42° C. for 1 day. 32P labeling of a probe was carried out in accordance with Feinberg and Vogelstein method (Anal. Biochem. 132: 6-13 (1983)). Further, washing of a membrane was carried out in 2×SSC, 0.5% SDS at 60° C. for 60 minutes (low stringency) and then 0.1×SSC, 0.5% SDS for 65° C. for 60 minutes (high stringency).

[0299] Southern hybridization analysis detected several strong signal bands and a number of weak signal bands. It is believed that the strong signal bands correspond to DNA fragments containing a base sequence having a high similarity to Tourist-OsaCatA, and the weak signal bands correspond to DNA fragments containing a base sequence having a relatively low similarity to Tourist-OsaCatA (FIG. 5).

Example 4

[0300] Expression in each Portion of a Flower

[0301] Total RNAs of each site in the glumose flower of rice (variety: Nipponbare) were prepared from stamens, pistils, lemmas palea, or glumose flower bases (rachilla, glume, rudimentary glume, lodicule) using RNeasy (Qiagen). The preparation was carried out in accordance with the manual attached to RNeasy. The prepared total RNAs were treated with DNase I (Life Technologies), followed by RT-PCR. RT-PCR was carried out using Superscript One-Step RT-PCR system (Life Technologies). 50 ng of the total RNAs were used as a template. cDNA synthesis was carried out at 47° C. for 40 minutes, and then at 94° C. for 2 minutes. Thereafter, 27 to 40 cycles of reactions at 94° C. for 2 minutes, at 52° C. for 2 minutes, and at 72° C. for 2 minutes are repeated. The resultant amplified DNA fragments were observed by agarose electrophoresis.

[0302] As a result, for 7 genes of the 8 genes shown in FIG. 2 and the 2 ESTs having detected expression in FIG. 3, expression was detected in a stamen or a pistil (FIG. 7A). For the A1 gene, amplification of a plurality of bands having different lengths was observed, and amplification of a DNA fragment having an intended length was suppressed. Further, for 10 CDSs of the 11 CDSs shown in FIG. 4, expression was detected in a stamen or a pistil (FIG. 7B). For CDS3, formation of a primer dimer was often observed, and amplification of a DNA fragment having an intended length was suppressed.

[0303] Comparison in Homology

[0304] A base sequence (115 bps; SEQ ID NO: 2) at a middle portion of Tourist-OsaCatA was compared with a region corresponding to 12 Tourist-OsaCatA like sequences (SEQ ID NOs: 26 to 37) in the vicinity of CDS having detected expression revealed by RT-PCR, exhibiting 65.8 to 90.4% (average: 82.9%) homology (FIG. 6).

[0306] The above-described invention is described by way of illustration in detail to some extent. The examples are described for the purpose of helping understand the present invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art from the teaching of the present invention that the examples may be particularly changed and modified without departing from the gist or spirit of the claims attached hereto.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

[0307] The transposon sequence of the present invention (e.g., a MITE sequence (e.g., a Tourist sequence) (e.g., a base sequence of a Tourist-type transposable element (Tourist-OsaCatA) found in the promoter region of the rice CatA gene)) can be used to efficiently screen for genes which are to be expressed in a site containing a flower. Therefore, these genes are useful to develop a promoter specific to an anther and pollen for breeding rice and the like by genetically modifying a gene relating to an anther or pollen constituting a flower, or modifying components of each tissue of a flower.
